The Philadelphia convention moves to a Dewey stampede after a stalled stop-Dewey effort. Taft Stassen Warren and Vandenberg withdraw, Bricker backs Dewey, and Dewey becomes the unanimous Republican nominee with Warren chosen as VP, shaping a hawkish internationalist platform.
Thomas Edmund Dewey emerges as a success story driven by precise ambition and directed energy. At 46 he has served twice as New York governor and twice earned the Republican presidential nomination, a historic pattern of a defeated candidate later renominated. Born in Owosso, Michigan, Dewey rose to prominence in New York City as a rackets-busting district attorney.
The article outlines Tito’s expulsion from the Communist Party over independence from Moscow, and Moscow's aim to tighten control in Eastern Europe.

The Calumet star Citation is likely to become the all time highest money winner with over one million dollars in purses if he stays healthy. He has surpassed 544000 and will face Arlington Classic and the 100000 International Gold Cup at Belmont this season.

The piece surveys 1948 hopefuls such as Blackwell, Feller, Newhouser, Munger and others. Many face injuries or slow starts, with Feller and Blackwell sidelined, Newhouser surging after early struggles, and Red Munger underperforming expectations for a 25 win season.
